TExARKANA, TEX, Dec. 21.-Tne par

that one DR.. j. E. Chisholm OF that place
had for some time past made himself OBJ
poIlous to the order-lovlng citizens and
they determined to rid the community Of
his presence. For this purpose they held
an indignation meeting " sterday, and
after passing 8 series Of resolutions q
committee was appointed to wait on him,
and order him to leave the town in
stantly. Ga learning the decision of the
people the Doctor asked the com
mittee for forty-eight hours time in
which to complete his preparations
for departure. The committee returned
to the place of meeting and laid the pro-
position before the assembly md the de-
sired time was granted. On the return
deDce 70 report 20 him the result Of the&
mission, they found him barricaded G
his house, and ii is said that as they were
nesceably returning he fred several shots
st them from partly opened door, fatally
wounding J. L. Adair, and severely
wounding D. Hanson, both prominent
citizens of Lewisville and members of the
committee. Chisholm made good his
escape and has not up TO this hour been.

WORSHLPING BRUTE FORCE,

The triumphal tour now being made by
Slugger Sullivan through Europe, while
very gratifying to that distinguished rep
resentstive of Boston high art and culture,
does not speak in tones at oil differing Of
the public taste and sentiment that causes
it. The Prince of Wales led the
way as he did in the Wild West
show presented by Colonel Bill Cody,
and it at once became popular;
his brother, who has command of Her
Maiesty's forces in the turbulent" En-
erald island, followed suit ard Sullivan
himself, by declaring that though born in
America he was as good an Irishman SIS
ever trod in shoe leather, WOE over TO
himself the Irish in body. The result is
that the pugilist goes through these coun-
tries in state and more respect is psid him
than would be paid the greatest statesman,
the ripest scholar or the most famous
scientist In the universe. Edison could
travel all over Europe without attracting
attention; so could almost any other real
benefactor of mankind, but the man whose
only distinction lies in the fact that he
csn infict more brutal punishment on q fell
low man than can any one else, is certainly
the center of an admiriDg mob. And 8
mob it must be. It cannot be possible
that the better classes Of people stand
ready TO honor mere brute force.
That feeling which induces q
man to pay 1926 for q ticket to the Xii
rain-Smith mill for instance, cannot
spring from the higher civilization Of the
time, but is relic Of ancient barbarism
where physical prowess ruled, or at least
were more feared and respected than any
other characteristic. The princes of the
royal blood may flock to see these bruis-
ers and lend to their brutal sentertain-
meDts" the Iuster of their names, but no
one will believe that the better classes Of
the people approve OF it.

REFORM BHRIAL.

The Brooklyn Times says: "The Pro
testsnt Episcopal Clergymen of New York
are engaged IN movement having for its
object a reform In the mode of burial
The well known argument OF unnecessary
expense under the present system is used,
and economy is promised under the reform
The use Of closed Collins and metallic
cases is deprecated, and the use CT wicker
baskets and papier-mache coverings is
suggested as likely to facilitate the resolu
ton Of bodies into their original ele-
ments. The argument that cemeteries
SIS now maintained sre pestilential is used
for all it is worth. 1t is expected that
the movement will be fought by power
full combinations of trsdesmen whose in
comes the proposed reform will tend to
diminish. Bishop Potter has been re-
porte as saying that the methods Of in
teIment at present II vogue are vicious
and that the highest type OF Christisn
burial will be only attained when the ad-
ministration of cemeteries IS placed en-
tirely in the hands of the church."
